save some brain space!


Hey Reader!

Oh my goodness, July is here and it is hitting haaardddd with the humidity here in Pennsylvania! NOT my cup of tea. ☕ Give me snow any day over 95+ degree temperatures!! ❄️❄️

Anyway, this week, I wanted to share a few of my favorite resources that save me money and brain space! In no particular order, here you go! (And yep, these are affiliate links because I love them so much!)

  • Hotels.com - when I travel, I usually book hotels through hotels.com because it allows me the freedom to choose any brand or location that suits my needs. I'm not limited to one chain that might not be the best price! Plus, you earn rewards across the Expedia network (Expedia - which also includes flights and rental cars, hotels.com, and VRBO).
  • VRBO - speaking of which, VRBO (or Vacation Rentals By Owner), is my second most used booking site for accommodation when I travel. This is a GREAT option so that you can find a place with a kitchen and save on dining out costs!
  • 1Password - this is the password manager I use. It saves me soooo much brain power because I don't have to think about what version of the same password might I have used on a particular site. Plus, you can create much stronger passwords for your accounts! One thousand percent worth the cost (which is less than $70 PER YEAR for the family plan).

I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a trip to Colorado and New Mexico! Have you traveled this summer, or do you plan to? Hit reply and let me know what you've been up to!

Talk to you next week!
